DECORATION DAY.

Let us gather meath the laurels.
Where the holy dust doth lie;
Let us pile the blooming flowers
'Twixt the marble and the sky.
Common lives of common endings-
Heartache-makers round us spread,
But we come with special off7rings,
These to-day are Hero Dead.
Some are missing where the river,
Blue Potomac softly flows,
Some are by the Mississippi,
Some where Georgia's pine-tree grows.
Missing here. but not up yonder,
Where the Blue and Gray shall stand,
Christ-Reviewer and Inspector
OF the armies of that land.
Swords are sheathed and cannons quiet,
Flags are furled and hates forgot,
And the North and South 10 gether
Write on gravesI: Forget me not.
God, our FAITH er. bless our soldiers,
Who have died to make men free;
God our father, take our flowers
Let their fragrance rise to Thee.

Another year has passed away,
And now, in earth's sweet Spring.
We place wreath on GIory's grave,
And floral tributes bring.
The birds still sing, the flowers bloom
AS sweet as e'er before;
But birds will sing, nor flowers bloom,
For loved and lost no more.
We cherish all-known or unknown
Who died for Dixie's land,
Who bore aloft the Southern cross
From James to Rio Grande.
We honor all whose battle-call
Was snake the Southland Free"
We do not ask their birth or creed
They fought and fell with Lee.
Our lovely women come to-day
To kneel at Freedoms shrine,
And every age and every class
Their laurels here entwine.
This is day when all can meet
And DER past sorrows sigh,
For here cur love for man wells up
From springs that never die.
This humble turf wraps honored clay
AS e'er the sun shOne on;
As bled at great Thermopyl@,
Or died at Marathon.
Here sleep the tender and the true,
Who laughed defeat to scorn.
Like those who at Culloden fought,
Or won at Bannockburn.
Oh sacred cause. Oh! cause SO lost,
With conquered banner furled,
In ashes still your record shines
And lights this western world.
Long throb our loyal hearts for thee,
And may our love increase
or virtue greater than was Rome's,
Or glory than was Greece.
Not Westminster's Abbey famed.
Nor Rome's proud Appian Way,
Has cause to be more hallowed ground
Than this we deck to-day.
Long be these Meccas dear to us,
And be their memories green,
AS every year with saddened heart
We act this "lofty scene."

RAISING PORK CHEAPLY.-We need
more grass and clover, and less corn, upon
which to make our pork. More grass and
clover means cheaper growth and less dis
ease. Just as the great corn and pork pro-
ducing lands have been developed, has
swine disease sprung up and increased, be-
cause our swine are given mOnotonous
diet of dry, oily food. Grass and clover
are the foods of nature, and the swine har-
vest them. They require little preparation
of the ground for them, and no cultivation
When pastured they build up, rather than
exhaust, the land; and it can not be sue
cessfully disputed that they are essential
pork. Let the pigs farrowed in the spring
be put on grass and clover as soon as they
are fit to be grazed, and kept on them as
long as they are palatable, and the result
will be pig not fat, but in good condition
and thrifty, that until fall has large,
healthy bones and muscle and vigorous
appetite for corn. And then it may be fed
corn largely, for this will put fat on the
large frame the pasture has made, and the
hog is vigorous enough to digest the corn
well; and if the hog is fatted rapidly and
marketed as soon as fully fat, it is the
cheapest pork that can be made-the cheap
est, not counting loss from disease. But
swine plague rarely invades the pasture;
its favorite place of appearance is in the
small lot, paved with cobs and manure.
The hog summered ON grass and clover is
so vigorous that it rarely sickens when be-
ing fattened on corn largely, but also other
food, and in clean quarters with pure water.
